JAKARTA - Suzuki's mainstay moge, Hayabusa, had to be withdrawn from the circulation period (recall) in the United States. This must be done because Suzuki Motor America knows there is a problem in the front master brake cylinder in Hayabusa 2022. As reported by the Ride APart page, Wednesday, March 1, 2023, there is a wrong dose of the cylinder port of the front brake master cylinder can cause an increase in the front brake lever. As a result, if the lever slack the brakes can result in an increase in braking distance and accidents. It is believed that at least 2,552 motorcycles were produced from March 26, 2021, to January 11, 2022, with the potential to have this problem. Starting from the case in Portugal, September 2021 to widespread in the United States. Throughout 2022, additional reports were made and an investigation has been initiated by Suzuki to analyze the matter. Technician Suzuki claims that under very specific conditions, the main port of the front brake master cylinder can be clogged which can eventually cause the front brake timesper piston to be attracted again. This condition can lead to an excessive gap between front brake pads and disks which can result in an unexpected increase in braking distance, and a possible reduction in braking force. The Japanese vehicle manufacturer has issued a notification for stopping sales on all affected motors until the problem is resolved. The company began to notify their network of dealers about the matter and has been recalled.
